Admission and Registration
Admission
Admission and readmission of undergraduate students to the University is the responsibility of the director of admissions. Information about admission to the University is given in General Information.
Information about admission to teacher preparation programs is available in the Office of the Dean, George I. Sánchez Building 216. Information about admission to majors in the Department of Kinesiology and Health is available in the Kinesiology Advising Center, Bellmont Hall 1005.
Admission to majors in kinesiology is restricted for internal transfer students. Students should see an adviser in the Kinesiology Advising Center for information.
Admission to the Professional Development Sequence
All students seeking teacher certification must complete a sequence of professional development courses. Admission to the Professional Development Sequence is restricted. Space availability may be a factor in the admission decision, as well as academic performance, completion of prerequisite courses, documented evidence of proficiency in reading and in oral and written communication, and the number of hours the student needs, at the time of application, to complete the program.
For students seeking early childhood through grade six, all-level generic special education, or all-level physical education certification, admission to the Professional Development Sequence requires a University grade point average of at least 2.50 and a grade of at least C in each prerequisite course and in each course in the major. To progress within the sequence, and to complete the sequence, the student must maintain a University grade point average of at least 2.50 and must earn a grade of at least C in each course in the sequence. In addition, when they enter the Professional Development Sequence, students seeking early childhood through grade six and all-level generic special education certification may lack no more than twelve semester hours of coursework outside the sequence. Additional information about these requirements is available in the Office of the Dean, George I. Sánchez Building 216.
For students in other teacher certification programs, requirements for admission to and continuation in the Professional Development Sequence are set by the college in which the student majors.
